Things I Learned In September

I shouldn’t have waited so long to try banana soft serve. It really does taste just like banana ice cream.

“Do what you love and you’ll never work another day in your life.” Something my mom told me when I quit my radio job. Something I only just learned can actually happen. Even with the crazy hours, my job never feels like work to me.

I really, really just can’t get into buffalo wings. I tried!

Calories burned during a workout shouldn’t matter if I’m not counting calories to begin with. Ditching my gadgets and going zen has shifted the way I look at fitness while increasing my enjoyment of it.

Moving to Toronto was the best decision I’ve ever made, even if it was also the scariest.

love your month end posts! they make me so happy. september.. i learned that i am more concerned with the fact that i can run 5 miles with ease than i am with the size of my thighs. and peaches with ice cream cannot be turned down. ever

i learned that its okay to forget about blogging for a little bit! and also, that it’s okay to randomly drop by and read a post, and say hi. like this one. :)

p.s i tried making banana ice cream in my breakfast class at school when i was on fruit team, but it didn’t turn out quite so nice in large quantities. turns out, the blogging world may love it, but an experienced chef might not. :( i tried!

Oh my god we’re so alike its scary! My only lifetime goal now is to have a dog with a house attached, oh and a little car! So many of the things you have learned relate to me too so I guess I just dito your post! Have a fab weekend x x

You just had to throw the part about quitting your radio job in there didn’t you. No actually I really needed that reminder today actually! The financial part of my back to school decision is weighing so heavily on me that I’m trying to find reasons to get out of it.

See you always say the right thing at the right time!

PS you’re welcome to run around my yard next week, but it’s muddy and about 2 meters long

I was just at wing house last night after our softball game and everyone was going to town on some wings….they just don’t do it for me!! Handover the mozarella sticks and onion rings and we’re in business :)

Welcome!

My name is Susan, I'm a 20-something living in Atlantic Canada and this is my blog about... me. I used to blog about food and fitness, but that all changed in June 2011 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. After six months of chemotherapy, I was declared cancer-free in January 2012. I now write about anything and everything as I stumble through my post-cancer world. I'm a trained journalist currently working as a writer/researcher. I also have a background in personal fitness training and nutrition. Welcome to my piece of the internet!
